NHL Insider Confirms Marc-Andre Fleury Is Willing To Join Canadian Team
With the Minnesota Wild facing a tough playoff battle, GM Bill Guerin has a big call to make before the trade deadline. He's weighing whether to trade goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury or keep him on the team.
Fleury holds the cards with a say in his destination, and insiders suggest he's open to joining a Canadian team.
Fleury's got a full no-movement clause, so he'll have a say in where he ends up. TSN's Pierre Lebrun hints that Fleury might be eyeing a move to Toronto.
"RUMORS: According to reports G Mark Andre-Fleury would be open to considering a trade to the Leafs. #Leafs #LeafsForever @PierreVLeBrun."
The Maple Leafs could definitely benefit from some goalie stability. Can Fleury deliver another deep playoff run? It's a gamble some teams, like Toronto, might be willing to take.
Fleury has mentioned he'll wait until the season's over to decide on his future. Despite his ambitions for another Stanley Cup, he's satisfied with his career and looks like a future Hall-of-Famer whenever he hangs up his pads.
